    What happens when an american gets Parasites in Peru?
    I have a really bad stomach ache now for several hours. I had the first one last Sunday after eating fish for dinner. I have only had chicken and potatoes since with minor tummy aches, but tonight it is hurting very badly. We have been avoiding giving me pills because they say the cure iis worst than the cause. Should I take the cure anyway. Is there a way to tough it out?

    It is very common to ingest parasites from sushi, or uncooked or undercooked fish. I don't know what they mean by the 'cure is worse then the cause'. I don't know why you would want to suffer for very much longer with symptoms becoming more uncomfortable day by day. Get rid of the affliction.

    Thank you for your response.
    I am told that the pill will cause the symptoms I already have to exacerbate and could incapacitate me for a few days. I am hesitant because I am leading a workshop in a few days and I think I can just power through it but not if its any worse. But maybe the worst of it will be over. I was wondering if anyone had an idea on the recoup time after taking this "pill".

    I know nothing of this pill. In my part of the world, this doesn't happen. The parasites have to be purged from your body, until you take medication, that won't happen.

    What is this pill called so I can do some research?
